MULTIFLEX™ Thermoplastic Elastomers
Thermoplastic elastomers are steadily replacing thermoset rubber in demanding automotive applications because they enhance rubber’s benefits with the design freedom, streamlined processing and recyclability Multibase’s TPEs help you address top challenges such as cost reductions through streamlined processing.
Uses
- Automotive interior and safety applications: Airbag covers, soft-touch trim, mats for bins and cup holders, climate control seals, shift boots
- Automotive exterior applications: Semi-dynamic and static weather seals, trim-to-glass or trim-to-metal seals and glass encapsulation
Advantages
- Excellent colorability aesthetics and resistance to color degradation, particularly after exposure to UV radiation
- Low compression set within a wide temperature range
- High fatigue resistance
- Excellent resistance to alcohols, acids, aqueous solutions, bases and detergents
- High electrical and thermal properties
